Between "revenge" and copycats, the situation can easily spiral out of control.

But he might keep his mouth shut on this one if it turns out they're white supremacist anti-government people. Those are his supporters.

I can imagine him squabbling with his Secret Service detail and being sent to bed without supper while the agent explains to Melanoma that Donnie is being locked in his room for his own safety.

Edited to identify the Secret Service in more polite terms than the acronym might suggest.

They're calling it WALL TO WALL coverage and it's all they've been talking about.

Rod Wheeler is their "expert". After Goggling him I understand why he's spewing the shit that he is.

He has said repeatedly tonight, I'm paraphrasing but this is the gist of it, "until the leadership in the White House changes, incidents like this will continue".

Now that may not be his exact words but it's very close.

Ok, I found a quote from tonight. But I'm leaving what I said he said, up.

"I don’t think is gonna be the end of it,” Wheeler warned. “I think we’re gonna continue to see bloodshed on the streets of America over the summer––this is gonna be a long hot bloody summer––until we get some leadership in this country.”

I also fear for Hillary since she's been so outspoken about guns. Maybe I fear for all sane people in this currently insane country.

I will edit and not use it again. No offense intended. I have great admiration for the Secret Service and the job they do.
